Judy Wilson & Ellen Gabriel on Canada's Failed National Action Plan

In Episode 99 of the Warrior Life Podcast, we talk to two Indigenous warrior women who have long advocated for the health, safety and well-being of Indigenous women and children: Kukpi7 Chief Judy Wilson and Katsi'tsakwas Ellen Gabriel. They joined me to talk about Canada's failed National Action Plan to address the ongoing genocide that is murdered and missing Indigenous women and girls.

Kukpi7 Chief Judy Wilson is the Chief of Neskonlith Indian Band in BC and also serves as the Secretary-Treasurer of the Union of BC Indian Chiefs. Chief Judy is an advocate of language, culture, history, aboriginal rights and title for Secwépemc communities and she is grounded in the work that matters to our peoples daily lives.

Katsi'tsakwas Ellen Gabriel was well-known as the former spokesperson chosen by the People of the Longhouse and her community of Kanehsatà:ke during the 1990 “Oka” Crisis. She’s also served as President of the Quebec Native Women’s Association and has been an Indigenous human rights and environmental activist for decades.
